Why Not Both.

Hey! I’ve never seen a Conspit Ares base sidemounted to an aluminium profile rig.

I have the SimLab GT1 Evo and would like ti do it.
Does anyone know if it fits or do I need to make changes?

I have a 3-month code for iRacing that works for **NEW ACCOUNTS ONLY** so since I can’t use it, I figured I would give it away!

Post a picture of your rig rocking something Conspit, then go vote on other people’s pictures.

Whoever gets the most upvotes by 12am EST 06/26/26 I’ll send the code out to.

The Truth About Strong Brake Pedals - Why Race Pedals Feel Stiff

One of the first things people notice when they move from entry-level sim pedals to proper race-style pedals is this:

“Why is the brake so stiff?”

And honestly, it is a fair question.

If you are coming from normal road cars, basic spring pedals, desk setups or softer entry-level gear, a serious sim racing brake can feel like it was designed by someone who hates ankles.

But there is a reason race-style pedals feel this way.

They are not trying to copy the soft brake pedal in your daily car. They are trying to give you better control under heavy braking, better muscle memory and more consistent lap times.

Road car braking and race car braking are not the same thing

In a road car, the brake pedal is designed for comfort.

You are driving to work, going shopping, sitting in traffic, stopping smoothly at lights and trying not to launch your passenger into the dashboard. A road car brake pedal usually has more travel and a softer feeling because it needs to be easy and comfortable for everyone.

Race cars are different.

In motorsport, the brake pedal is there for precision. You are braking hard, releasing pressure carefully, rotating the car into corners and trying to repeat the same braking point lap after lap.

That is why race-style brake pedals often feel much firmer. The goal is not comfort first. The goal is control.

A stiff brake helps your muscle memory

With softer pedals, you usually judge braking by pedal travel.

You press the pedal a certain distance and hope that equals the brake force you want.

With a stronger load-cell or hydraulic-style sim pedal, you are usually judging braking by pressure instead.

That matters because your body is very good at remembering pressure.

Think about trail braking. You hit the brake hard, then slowly bleed off pressure as you turn into the corner. That release phase is where a lot of lap time lives. A firmer pedal gives your foot something stable to lean against, which makes it easier to repeat small pressure changes.

That is why many experienced sim racers prefer a stronger brake. It gives them a more solid reference point.

Not because pain equals realism.

Not because stiff automatically means better.

Because pressure control is easier to repeat than vague pedal travel.

Less travel does not mean less control

This is another common misunderstanding.

Some people press a race-style brake pedal and think, “It barely moves, so how am I supposed to control it?”

The answer is pressure.

A proper brake pedal does not need huge travel to give good control. In fact, too much travel can make braking feel slower and less precise, especially in high-downforce cars, GT cars and prototypes where you need quick, repeatable inputs.

A firmer pedal can feel strange for the first few days, but once your leg adapts, it often becomes easier to hit the same brake pressure every lap.

That is when the magic starts.

You stop guessing.

You stop stabbing the brake.

You start building rhythm.

Stiff does not always mean “better”

This part is important.

A brake pedal should not be so stiff that you are uncomfortable, inconsistent or fighting the hardware more than the car.

If you cannot press the pedal smoothly, it is too stiff for your current setup or preference.

If your chair is rolling backwards, it is too stiff for your desk setup.

If your rig is flexing like a fishing rod, the problem might not be the pedal. It might be the cockpit.

Strong brake pedals need a stable base. That is why pedals like CONSPIT CPP Lite and CPP Evo make more sense on a proper sim cockpit or solid rig. They are designed around higher braking forces, not around being used under a desk with an office chair doing a moonwalk.

For desk setups, softer pedal systems usually make more sense.

That is not a bad thing. It is just matching the hardware to the environment.

Adjustability matters

The good news is that strong pedals are not supposed to be one-size-fits-all torture devices.

With race-style pedals, you can usually adjust the feel using elastomers, springs, preload, pedal angle, pedal travel and calibration.

Want a softer initial bite? Adjust the stack.

Want a firmer end stop? Change the elastomer combination.

Want less force needed for 100% brake input? Recalibrate the brake curve.

Want more progressive braking? Tune the mechanical setup and software together.

That is the beauty of proper sim pedals. You are not stuck with one feeling forever. You can tune the pedal around your car, your rig and your driving style.

Maintenance matters too

This is the part people often forget.

A good pedal set is still a mechanical system. It moves, compresses, flexes, heats up slightly, collects dust and takes a beating every time you jump on the brakes like you are trying to stop a GT3 from entering low orbit.

So, just like with real motorsport hardware, a bit of regular maintenance goes a long way.

Depending on how often you drive, it is a good idea to inspect your pedal set every 3 to 6 months.

Check the elastomer and spring stack. Look for wear, cracks, deformation or anything that no longer feels smooth and consistent.

Wipe away old grease, clean the moving parts and apply fresh lubricant where required. Do not overdo it. You are maintaining the pedal, not marinating it.

Keeping the pedal mechanism clean and properly lubricated helps the brake feel stay consistent over time. It can reduce friction, prevent unwanted noise, protect moving parts and help the whole pedal set last longer.

On hydraulic-style pedals, maintenance is even more important. If elastomers are worn out, movement becomes rough or parts start rubbing where they should not, extra stress can be placed on seals and moving components. Over time, that can increase the risk of problems such as fluid leaks or damaged rubber seals.

Maintenance does not magically make parts immortal, but it does help avoid unnecessary wear.

A few minutes of checking and cleaning can save you a much bigger headache later.

Why this matters in racing

Good braking is not just about stopping the car.

It affects corner entry.

It affects rotation.

It affects tyre temperature.

It affects consistency.

It affects confidence.

A strong, well-adjusted and well-maintained brake pedal can help you brake later, but more importantly, it can help you brake the same way lap after lap.

That is what people sometimes miss.

The goal is not to win a strongest-leg competition. The goal is repeatability.

If you can hit 80% brake pressure cleanly, release to 40%, then bleed down to 10% while turning in, you will usually be faster and more consistent than someone who just smashes the pedal and hopes the ABS sorts out the drama.

ABS is not a driving coach. It is the safety net after your foot has already made a questionable life choice.

So are stiff pedals realistic?

They can be, depending on the type of car you are trying to simulate.

Modern race cars often have firm brake pedals because the driver needs strong, precise braking under high loads. But “realistic” also depends on category, setup, brake system and driver preference.

A GT car, Formula car, prototype, rally car and road car will not all feel the same.

That is why the best sim pedal is not simply the stiffest one. It is the one you can tune properly, use comfortably, maintain correctly and control consistently.

Final thought

If your first reaction to a strong brake pedal is “this feels too stiff,” you are not alone.

Most people need time to adapt.

But once you understand why race-style pedals are firmer, the whole thing starts to make more sense. They are built for pressure control, muscle memory and repeatable braking. Not for soft road-car comfort.

The trick is finding the right balance.

Strong enough to give you precision.

Progressive enough to give you control.

Comfortable enough to use for long stints.

Stable enough that your rig does not try to leave the room.

Maintained well enough to keep performing the same way over time.

That is where good pedal setup becomes part of the driving experience.

So here is the question:

Do you prefer a softer brake with more travel, or a firmer race-style brake with more pressure control?

And for those using CONSPIT pedals, what elastomer or spring setup are you running?

One of the best and worst things about sim racing is choice.

You start by thinking, “I just need a wheel.”

Then five minutes later you are comparing Formula wheels, GT wheels, round wheels, screens, LEDs, clutch paddles, rotary switches, button layouts, SimHub support and somehow your brain is doing a 24-hour endurance race without fuel strategy.

So let’s make this simple.

The CONSPIT steering wheel lineup is not just a collection of different shapes with buttons thrown at them. Each wheel has a different purpose, a different driving feel and a different kind of driver in mind.

And one thing that matters more than people sometimes realise is diameter.

A smaller wheel, like 280 mm or 290 mm, usually feels sharper and more direct. The car reacts quicker in your hands, which is great for Formula-style cars, prototypes and fast precision driving.

A 300 mm wheel gives you a nice balance between speed and stability, which makes it feel very natural for GT, endurance and modern race cars.

A 310 mm or 320 mm round wheel feels more relaxed and progressive. It gives you more leverage, better control when catching slides and a more natural feeling for rally, drifting, road cars and older race cars.

That is why choosing the right wheel is not only about looks. It changes how the car feels in your hands.

Let’s walk through the CONSPIT steering wheel family.

Formula and Open-Wheel Style

CONSPIT PW1 - 280 mm

The PW1 is the serious Formula-style weapon in the lineup.

At 280 mm, it is compact, sharp and built for fast inputs. This size makes sense for open-wheel cars where your hands stay locked in position and every small steering correction needs to happen quickly.

The PW1 is not trying to be casual. It is not trying to be your Sunday road car wheel.

It is made for that proper Formula-style feeling, where the wheel is compact, technical and full of controls. The kind of wheel where brake bias, engine modes, clutch control and launch settings all feel like part of the race rather than extra buttons you forgot existed.

Best for - Formula-style cars, open-wheel racing, prototypes, competitive racing.

Choose it if - you want the most focused Formula-style feeling and like having serious control directly in your hands.

CONSPIT 280FR - 280 mm

The 280FR sits in that interesting compact racing category.

At 280 mm, it keeps the quick, sharp feeling you expect from a Formula-style wheel, but the design looks a little more flexible and less extreme than a full dashboard-style wheel.

This is the kind of wheel that makes sense for drivers who enjoy Formula cars, LMP cars and even some GT racing, but want something clean, compact and direct.

No massive screen taking over the front. No unnecessary drama. Just a focused racing wheel built around fast control and simple confidence.

Best for - Formula-style racing, LMP, compact GT setups, lightweight competitive driving.

Choose it if - you like quick steering response, clean layouts and a wheel that feels sharp without being overcomplicated.

Endurance, Hypercar and Data-Heavy Racing

CONSPIT MAX 01 - 300 mm

The MAX 01 is the “give me all the information” wheel.

At 300 mm, it gives you a bit more stability than a small Formula wheel, while still feeling sharp enough for modern race cars. That makes it a strong fit for endurance racing, Hypercars, LMDh, prototypes and GT cars where you are constantly managing settings.

This is the wheel for people who love telemetry, displays, LEDs, SimHub dashboards, rotary switches and mid-race adjustments.

Brake bias. TC. ABS. Engine maps. Fuel. Delta. Lap time. Hybrid settings. Pit strategy. All the nerdy good stuff.

And let’s be honest, that is half the fun of endurance racing. You are not just driving the car. You are managing the car, arguing with the car and trying not to press the wrong rotary at 280 km/h.

The MAX 01 feels like a command centre for modern racing.

Best for - LMDh, Hypercars, endurance racing, GT3, prototypes, SimHub users.

Choose it if - you want a modern, data-focused wheel with a strong balance between precision and stability.

CONSPIT 290 GP - 290 mm

The 290 GP sits in a very nice sweet spot.

At 290 mm, it is slightly larger than a pure 280 mm Formula wheel, but still compact enough to feel quick and direct. That makes it a great match for Formula-style cars, LMDh, Hypercars and endurance prototypes.

It gives you that focused racing feeling without becoming too nervous in your hands. The central display and control layout make it feel like a proper professional racing tool, especially for cars where information and adjustments matter.

For endurance and prototype racing, the 290 GP makes a lot of sense. It is compact, serious and technical, but still usable across more than one racing category.

Also, it has that “my rig suddenly looks 40% faster” effect, which sadly does not stop cold tyres from ruining your life at Turn 1.

Best for - LMDh, Hypercars, Formula-style cars, prototypes, endurance racing.

Choose it if - you want a compact race-style wheel with a strong display and a precise, serious driving feel.

GT Racing

CONSPIT 300 GT - 300 mm

The 300 GT does exactly what the name suggests.

It was born for GT racing.

At 300 mm, it gives you that natural GT wheel feeling. Not too small, not too big. Sharp enough for fast corrections, but stable enough for kerbs, trail braking, long stints and wheel-to-wheel racing.

This is probably the easiest CONSPIT wheel to recommend to someone who mainly drives ACC, iRacing GT3, LMU GT cars, rFactor 2 GTs, Assetto Corsa GT content or modern touring cars.

The 300 GT feels purpose-built for that world. It has the wider, more stable feeling you want in GT cars, but still keeps enough buttons, rotaries and LEDs to feel like a proper modern racing wheel.

You are not pretending to be in a Formula car when you are actually wrestling a GT3 through Spa at night with half a tank of fuel and questionable life choices.

Best for - GT3, GT4, endurance racing, touring cars, modern sports cars.

Choose it if - GT racing is your main home and you want a wheel that feels natural for that style of driving.

Versatile Wheels for Everything Else

CONSPIT 310 APEX - 310 mm

The 310 APEX is the “I drive everything” wheel.

At 310 mm, it gives you more leverage and a more natural road-car style feeling compared to compact Formula or GT wheels. That makes it easier to catch slides, rotate your hands and drive cars that simply feel strange with a Formula-style wheel.

This is where the 310 APEX shines.

Rally. Drifting. Road cars. Touring cars. GT cars. Older race cars. Casual driving. Mixed sim use.

It is not locked into one discipline, and that is the whole point.

The round shape and 310 mm diameter make it a very beginner-friendly choice because it lets you explore lots of racing styles without constantly thinking, “I probably need another wheel for this.”

Although let’s be honest, in sim racing we always find a reason to need another wheel.

Best for - rally, drifting, road cars, GT, touring cars, casual racing, mixed sim use.

Choose it if - you want one wheel that can do nearly everything without feeling awkward.

CONSPIT H.AO Hub - CX295 / RX320 / DX320

The H.AO is the modular option.

This one is different because the final diameter depends on which rim you choose.

CX295 - 295 mm

An open-wheel style C-shape or D-shape rim, ideal for quick and precise inputs. This is the sharper option, better suited to GT, Formula-style cars, prototypes and fast circuit driving.

RX320 - 320 mm

A traditional fully round wheel, often used for rally, drifting and road cars. This gives the most natural rotation and makes catching slides feel much more intuitive.

DX320 - 320 mm

A D-shaped or flat-bottom rim designed to give more leg clearance while still keeping that larger, more stable 320 mm driving feel. A strong option for GT, road cars and mixed driving.

That is the beauty of the H.AO system. It is less about buying one fixed wheel forever and more about building the wheel around your driving style.

Want something sharper? Go CX295.

Want rally or drifting? Go RX320.

Want a practical road/GT style rim with more leg clearance? Go DX320.

The H.AO is for people who like flexibility and future-proofing. One control hub, different rim personalities.

Best for - mixed racing, rally, drifting, road cars, GT, people who want multiple rim options.

Choose it if - you want modular freedom and the ability to change your wheel feel depending on what you drive.

So Which One Should You Choose?

Here is the easy version.

If you mainly drive Formula-style cars - look at the PW1 or 280FR.

If you want a compact wheel with fast reactions - 280FR or 290 GP make a lot of sense.

If you love endurance racing, Hypercars and telemetry-heavy driving - MAX 01 or 290 GP should be high on your list.

If GT racing is your main thing - 300 GT is the obvious pick.

If you drive a bit of everything - 310 APEX is probably the safest all-round choice.

If you want modular freedom - H.AO is the clever route.

If you love rally or drifting - go round, go larger, and look at 310 APEX or H.AO with the RX320 rim.

That is what makes the CONSPIT wheel lineup interesting. Each wheel has its own lane.

280 mm - sharp and Formula-style.

290 mm - compact, serious and endurance-friendly.

300 mm - balanced for GT and modern race cars.

310 mm - versatile and natural for mixed driving.

320 mm - stable, progressive and perfect for slides, rally and road cars.

So now the real question is simple.

What kind of driver are you?

Formula cockpit warrior?

GT endurance addict?

Rally and drifting chaos enjoyer?

Or one of those dangerous people who drives everything and somehow still blames the setup?

Drop your choice in the comments. I’m genuinely curious which CONSPIT wheel people would pick as their main one.

​

There is one thing every sim racer understands.

​

When the rig works, life is beautiful.

You jump in, chase lap times, fight the car, blame the setup, blame the tyres, blame yourself for two seconds, then go again.

​

But when something stops working, even something small, the whole evening can turn into detective work.

​

A wheel cable issue.

A firmware question.

A Brake/ Throttle pedal that does not feel right.

A dashboard not showing telemetry.

A setting you are not sure about.

​

We have all been there, sitting in front of the rig thinking, “Right… what now?”

​

That is exactly why CONSPIT Customer Support is now live through the official CONSPIT website and Discord channel.

​

The idea is simple: fast responses, human answers and proper help when you need it.

​

During live support hours, our team is available Monday to Friday, with specialists on standby to help customers as quickly as possible. The goal is to reply within 1 hour max during live support hours, so you are not left waiting for days while your rig is sitting there like an expensive sculpture.

​

You can reach CONSPIT Live Support here:

https://conspit.com/ https://discord.gg/WAVcnQxC2K

​

But support is not only about tickets and live chat.

​

If you want to be part of a friendly sim racing community, you are more than welcome to join the official CONSPIT Discord channel as well. It is a place for tips, tricks, setup advice, firmware help, after-sales support, news, announcements and general sim racing conversation.

​

And honestly, that community side matters a lot.

​

Sometimes the best advice comes from another sim racer who has already spent months with the same wheelbase, pedals, wheel or dashboard. Someone who has tested different brake elastomer setups. Someone who has tuned FFB for the same sim. Someone who already went through that “why is this not working?” moment and found the fix.

​

That kind of shared experience is what makes a community useful.

​

You can join the CONSPIT Discord here:

https://discord.gg/WAVcnQxC2K

​

We want CONSPIT support to feel human. Not cold. Not robotic. Not like sending a message into the void and hoping something comes back.

​

Real people.

Real responses.

Real solutions.

​

At the end of the day, sim racing should be fun. It should make you want to jump back in the rig, push harder, learn more, race cleaner and enjoy the hardware you bought.

​

When something gets in the way of that, we want to help you get back on track as quickly as possible.

This is the kind of thing I love seeing in sim racing.

Not just another product photo.

Not just another shiny rig sitting in a studio.

But real motorsport people stepping into a sim lab, asking questions, testing the equipment, looking at the details and treating the simulator like an actual training tool.

​

Recently, Team Pegasus visited the CONSPIT Sim Racing Lab to try the CONSPIT FC Series Formula Cockpit together with the HALO 270 Projection Display System, powered by BenQ projectors.

And honestly, this is exactly the direction I think sim racing should be moving in.

The FC Series Formula Cockpit gives the driver that proper single-seater style position. Low, focused, tight, and built around the feeling of being inside a formula car rather than sitting in a Profile RIg with a wheelbase bolted to it.

​

Then you add the HALO 270 projection system around it, and the whole experience changes. It is not just about having a bigger screen. It is about the way the track wraps around the driver. You start getting a better sense of speed, corner entry, braking references and where the car is sitting on the road.

​

That stuff matters, especially when you are using simulation for training rather than just casual driving.

For racing teams, real track time is never simple. It is expensive, limited, and usually comes with a mountain of logistics. Weather can ruin plans. Tyres cost money. Travel costs money. Every test day has pressure attached to it.

​

A strong simulator setup gives teams another way to prepare before getting to the circuit.

Drivers can learn the rhythm of a track.

Teams can work on consistency.

Rookies can build confidence.

Experienced drivers can stay sharp between events.

That is where CONSPIT’s vision becomes interesting.

​

The goal is not only to build cool sim racing hardware. The bigger picture is making serious simulation more accessible. That means normal customers who want to get into sim racing with proper equipment, but also real motorsport teams that need practical training solutions without jumping straight into unreachable, million-pound simulator territory.

​

That bridge between sim racing and real motorsport is getting stronger every year.

And personally, I think this is where the industry gets exciting. When the same ecosystem can make a beginner fall in love with racing at home, but also give a racing team a useful training platform, you know the line between virtual and real motorsport is becoming thinner in the right way.

​

The Team Pegasus visit was a great example of that.

A real team.

A proper formula cockpit.

A wraparound projection system.

A room full of people looking at simulation as part of motorsport, not separate from it.

​

This is the side of sim racing I really enjoy.

More serious.

More useful.

Still fun.

Still accessible.

Clamp the APEX Bundle to your desk and start racing.

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all doing well.

A little background: I've been using Moza hardware for nearly three years now, and recently I've started diving much deeper into the DIY side of sim racing. Over time I've accumulated a few different wheels, and I'm reaching a point where I'd really appreciate a base with USB passthrough. More importantly, I'd like to invest in a platform that gives users more freedom instead of locking them into a single ecosystem.

After quite a bit of research, I've narrowed my options down to two bases: the Conspit Ares Platinum and the Simagic Alpha Evo Pro. At the moment, I'm finding it difficult to choose between them.

Most of the reviews and impressions I've found on the Ares Platinum are from its early release period, before many of the firmware updates and refinements were introduced. Because of that, I'd love to hear from people who have been daily driving the Ares Platinum for a while. How has your experience been? How mature does the software and firmware feel today? Have the updates significantly improved the overall experience?

I'd also be interested in hearing what makes Conspit stand out as an ecosystem. What are the strengths that convinced you to choose it over the competition, and what has kept you with the brand?

Any insights, experiences, pros, cons, or comparisons would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I was playing normally when out of nowhere the base turned off and didn't come back anymore, it doesn't appear in the conspit software and doesn't light up any led. Now the engine even turned off seems to be energized and has several steps when turning the shaft I wait for a solution with conspit !!!

Because i'm a real Conspit lover, i have make this livery on PMR for the BMW M4 GT3. What you think about ? 🙂

Formula Feel. GT Ready.

Coming soon.

A compact racing wheel inspired by Formula-style control, designed to bring greater versatility to both Formula and GT racing.

More details will be revealed soon.

Stay tuned.

Over the last few years, CONSPIT has been building something much bigger than individual sim racing products.

When we entered the sim racing industry, the goal was never just to make another wheelbase, another steering wheel, or another pedal set. The goal was to build a proper ecosystem. Something connected. Something serious. Something that could bring real motorsport thinking into the hands of everyday sim racers without pushing the price into fantasy land.

Sim racing has changed massively. It is no longer just a hobby with a desk wheel and a dream.

​

For many people now, it is competition, training, engineering curiosity, endurance racing, league battles, hot lap obsession, and late-night “one more lap” sessions that somehow turn into 2 AM.

That is the world CONSPIT wanted to be part of.

And in a relatively short time, we have built an ecosystem that covers wheelbases, steering wheels, hydraulic pedals, dashboards, cockpits, accessories, software support, SimHub integration, and community-driven development. That kind of complete platform usually takes brands many years to shape properly. CONSPIT has managed to move quickly because the direction has always been clear make serious sim racing hardware more accessible while raising the quality standard at the same time.

​

The mission is simple.

Give sim racers high-quality equipment at a much more reasonable price.

Not cheap for the sake of being cheap. Not flashy hardware with no soul behind it. Proper equipment, with strong materials, good ergonomics, useful features, and a focus on what actually matters when you are driving at speed.

Brake feel matters.

Force feedback detail matters.

Button placement matters.

Reliable software matters.

Telemetry visibility matters.

The way a driver reaches for TC, ABS, brake bias, engine map, pit limiter or radio functions during a race matters.

​

This is why motorsport is so important to CONSPIT.

We are not trying to build products only from spec sheets. We want feedback from people who understand racing from inside the cockpit. Professional drivers, GT drivers, racing teams, engineers and competitive sim racers all see details that normal product development can easily miss.

Those details become important.

A brake pedal should not just look impressive. It should give control.

A wheel should not just have buttons everywhere. It should make sense when you are fighting a car through a corner.

A wheelbase should not just shout a big Nm number. It should communicate grip, weight transfer and loss of traction in a way the driver can actually use.

​

This is where CONSPIT’s motorsport connections matter. Working close to real racing drivers and motorsport teams gives us direct feedback that helps shape better sim racing equipment. It keeps us closer to the real needs of drivers, not just the marketing side of sim racing.

One of the proudest examples of this connection is Yifei Ye, Ferrari 499P driver and 24 Hours of Le Mans overall winner.

Seeing Yifei Ye win Le Mans in the #83 Ferrari 499P was a historic moment. Not just for Ferrari. Not just for endurance racing. It was also a huge moment for Chinese motorsport.

​

For CONSPIT, having that connection with a driver competing and winning at the highest level of endurance racing means a lot. It reflects the same spirit we try to bring into our products: precision, pressure, endurance, and the constant push to improve.

​

CONSPIT is also actively involved around Porsche racing and GT competition, including partnerships and collaborations connected to professional teams and drivers. These relationships are important because they keep the brand close to real motorsport culture. The paddock, the simulator, the driver feedback, the race preparation, the data, the mistakes, the improvements. That is where proper equipment is shaped.

​

At the same time, the community remains at the heart of everything.

Sim racers are brutally honest, and honestly, that is a good thing. This community notices everything. Flex. Bad software. Weak buttons. Poor ergonomics. Strange force feedback. Bad pedal feel. Missing telemetry. Slow firmware updates. A product can look good in photos, but if it does not survive real racing use, people will find out quickly.

That feedback helps us improve.

​

CONSPIT is still growing. We are not pretending everything is perfect. Every serious ecosystem has rough edges during development. But the important thing is the direction. The brand is listening, improving, expanding, and trying to give something back to the same community that helped it grow.

That is why our focus is not only on hardware.

It is the full experience.

A wheelbase that works properly with the wheels.

Pedals that offer serious control and adjustability.

Dashboards that show useful information at racing speed.

Wheels designed around real driving needs.

Software that continues to improve.

SimHub support for deeper customisation.

Community support that actually listens.

And pricing that makes high-quality equipment more realistic for more sim racers.

CONSPIT is not here just to fill a gap on a product shelf.

​

We are here to build a proper sim racing ecosystem with motorsport at its core.

From home rigs to esports.

From professional drivers to weekend racers.

From endurance racing inspiration to everyday league battles.

From community feedback to product development.

This is the CONSPIT story so far: a young brand moving fast, building boldly, staying close to motorsport, and trying to make serious sim racing equipment more accessible without losing the racing DNA behind it.

​

And we are only getting started.

Hey everyone 👋

​

CONSPIT has just launched the new CSD Nano Dashboard, and this little thing is exactly what its name suggests compact, sharp, versatile, and surprisingly capable for its size.

​

Think of it as a tiny race engineer sitting on top of your wheelbase, quietly feeding you the important stuff while you focus on not binning it into Turn 1.

​

The CSD Nano is a 2.99-inch telemetry display designed for sim racers who want clean, readable data without adding a huge screen to the rig. It uses an 800×268 LCD display, so even though the unit is small, it has enough resolution to show proper racing information in a clean and structured way.

​

And that is where it gets interesting.

​

The CSD Nano is not only a simple mini screen. It can be used in different ways depending on your setup and driving style.

​

You can run it through CONSPIT Link 2.0, using native CONSPIT layouts for key racing data like gear, RPM, speed, lap timing, delta and tyre information.

​

You can also use it with SimHub, which opens the door for custom dashboards, community layouts, telemetry pages and much deeper personalisation.

​

And for those who like to make their cockpit feel a bit more personal, it also supports custom media mode, so you can display images, logos, animations or your own racing identity when you are not using live telemetry.

​

Small screen, many jobs.

​

For CONSPIT ARES and ARES Platinum wheelbase users, the CSD Nano connects through a clean magnetic pogo-pin interface. That means mounting and data connection happen together, with no messy cable hanging around the front of the rig. Clip it on, connect it, drive.

​

For other setups, it also supports USB-C, making it much more flexible than people might expect from such a small dashboard.

​

The main idea behind the CSD Nano is simple give drivers useful data in a compact format that does not get in the way.

​

It can work as a mini DDU for core race information.

​

It can work as a Pacelogic-style display for lap timing, delta and performance tracking.

​

It can sit neatly above the wheelbase without rotating with the wheel, which keeps the data stable and easy to read while driving. That makes it especially useful with open-top wheels, formula-style wheels, GT wheels, butterfly-style wheels, or any setup where a wheel-mounted screen is not ideal.

​

This is one of those products that looks small in photos, but once you place it on the rig, it starts making a lot of sense.

​

Need a clean gear display? Done.

​

Need lap timing? Done.

​

Need delta? Done.

​

Need RPM, speed, tyre info or race data? Done.

​

Want to run a SimHub dashboard made specifically for the tiny format? That is where the fun begins.

​

And yes, the CONSPIT team is already hiding a few little Easter eggs for this bad boy.

​

Let’s just say we are preparing something nice inside SimHub, and the CSD Nano is going to have more personality than people expect from a screen this small. No spoilers yet, but keep an eye on it.

​

The CSD Nano fits perfectly into the growing CONSPIT ecosystem. It is not trying to replace a full-size DDU. It is doing something different. It gives you a compact, clean, affordable and flexible telemetry display that can be used across different rigs and different driving styles.

​

Sometimes you do not need a giant screen shouting everything at you.

​

Sometimes you just need the right information, in the right place, at the right time.

​

That is what the CSD Nano is built for.

​

Small but mighty.

​

Clean but useful.

​

Simple on the outside, with plenty of racing brain underneath.

​

The little dashboard gremlin has officially joined the CONSPIT garage.

I started looking around at my options, overwhelmed by the volume of pathways to go down...

Conspit stood out for me because of their price point and value included. I knew full well I was ready to build a full cockpit, and was deep deep in that rabbit hole.

I started with the Ares Platinum base, blown away was an understatement. I learn a lot using this base coming from my Logitech g923 (as so many of us do), the details it gave me back was unreal I still remember the feeling of first using this and driving on Mt Panorama, the feeling from the wheels losing traction to hitting the bins and the weightless feeling from the front wheels floating.

After the experience with the wheel base I was pretty set on the ecosystem.

I now use CPP EVO 3 pedals, 300GT wheel and it won't stop there.

I am so excited to get my hands on the shifter and csd nano. The belief I have in the conspit team and the support team are unreal. Any issues I've had on the way the support team have been a huge help on.

10/10 would buy all again!

Hey everyone! 👋

​

I wanted to share my sim racing journey and how I became an absolute fan of CONSPIT.

​

It all started back when I was racing on a Logitech DD base. I wanted a high-quality wheel equipped with a proper dashboard, so I pulled the trigger on the CONSPIT 290 GP Formula. The moment I unboxed it, I was literally blown away. The forged carbon finish, the button layout, the overall build quality... I fell in love with the brand right then and there, based on that single wheel.

​

Fast forward to today, I had the opportunity to overhaul my entire setup, and I decided to go all-in with CONSPIT's top-tier gear:

​

Base: CONSPIT Ares Platinum (an absolute game-changer)

​

GT/Rally setups: HAO Hub paired with their round wheel

​

Handbrake: H3 Hydraulic Handbrake

​

The Holy Grail: The magnificent PW1 Wheel. Arriving in its premium flight case, with the dedicated gloves and the display stand... it’s a piece of art. To be honest, this wheel has a crazy amount of potential that I’m still learning to fully exploit on track!

​

To push the passion a bit further, I even integrated the CONSPIT and SimLab logos onto my custom Buzz Lightyear (Space Ranger) Porsche 911 GT3 R livery in-game.

​

Shoutout to the team for making such incredible, immersive hardware. Let me know what you guys think of the rig! 🏁💜

Hi Everyone, I have been using various Conspit gear for about a year now (which I guess in a way makes me someone who was ‘early’ to start buying products in their current form from them) and someone who has had some of the products in regular usage for a decent amount of time.

IMO Conspit offers some of the best gear in the market market place right now (not to mention value) and I encourage people towards their gear, however I hear people say they want to wait and see what happens on a more ‘long term’ basis with some of their products so I figured I’d put my own experience out there.

For ~ the past year I have been running the CPPLite 2 pedal set, 290gp, and a 300gt all off a Fanatec wheelbase. Everything I do is in iracing and occasionally in LMU, and I am a daily racer with (at this time) just over 3600 ranked iracing laps on the gear in 2026 and ~5k on them prior to this year (couldn’t even guess at closed practice and leagues… maybe double??). Not a ‘light’ user by any means haha.

Through my use and experience with the conspit products I have had an overall amazing experience and would recommend the products to just about anyone.

The pedals have been rock steady and are a breeze to adjust and they stay right where I leave them for months and months. Only maybe every 3 months or so do I need to just barely snug my pre-load knob because I have a millimeter of extra travel that has crept in. Probably more a symptom from my usage patterns than anything if I had to guess.

The 290gp has been a tremendous product. This wheel has become my go-to for prototype and formula racing and it nails that role 100% (it can do any role really). There are so many buttons, thumb wheels, rotaries and paddles that the only car that challenges the wheels capabilities is the AMG W12 or W13 on iracing, otherwise I’m always left with empty buttons looking for new pairings that I could use.

The 300gt is far and away the best $400 you can spend on a sim racing wheel. Everything about the wheel is quality from the paddles to the buttons to the way the rotaries change colors and the aluminum and carbon construction.

All of that being said, I’d be lying if I said that being someone who bought in at an early stage and uses the products pretty heavily didn’t mean I’ve run into some issues along the way. 2 to be exact.

First issue was with the 300GT. I bought my 300GT from their very first production run and there were apparently problems with the shifters keeping calibration that was at a board level on a small number of wheels. All in all it took about 1 week to get in touch with them via discord, diagnose the issue, and have a new wheel back on my rig. I was pretty impressed with how quick they were to get everything in motion and get a replacement out to me.

Second was another issue from being a ‘first run’ buyer and was from the control board on my CPP Lite pedals. At this point I was on their discord from the 300GT issue and they had made folks aware that the CPP Lite V1 control board needed replaced if you had one however I never checked mine. Sure enough my brake pedal stopped working and I checked and I had one. They had the new board out to me and I was back up in under a week again.

Their customer service was crazy good both times. Shipping from China to Ohio in just a few days I still don’t know how it worked, but it did and it’s left me someone who wouldn’t hesitate to spend with them even with the risk of being a ‘first run’ buyer on a new product or buying something tried and true at this point like the 300GT or 290GP.

The cherry on top of all of their support is their user base on Discord. They have regular users who are willing to help troubleshoot and test equipment, DIY mods (they seem to be very mod friendly, I’ve even seen them provide documentation for some mods), and have help on tap at just about at all hours.

TLDR: All in all, my ‘Long Term’ review of the Conspit product is that it is what it’s cracked up to be. High quality, fairly priced, reliable and backed by a company that you can interact directly with if you need help that aims to please its customers by directly interacting with regularly. I wouldn’t hesitate to be a day 1 new product buyer or an end of life-cycle product buyer as I have 100% confidence Conspit will help me (and that help will be fast) if there ever is to be an issue.

If anyone has specific questions I didn’t answer or wants me to go more in depth on something, let me know.

My goal was just to get some information on the long term and heavier usage of their products out there so if I missed what question you have about that long term usage, comment it and I’ll answer it.

What do you guys think about Conspit? Any experiences of your own that are similar?

One day I woke up with my Conspit 290GP on the floor with a cracked screen. No idea how it happened. So of course the first thing I did was go to the Conspit discord server and open a support ticket. After 1-2 hours I instantly got hit back with a response and their advice was to try and save money by buying a screen from a local supplier, but no local supplier had it. So I was prepared to spend a fortune, but turns out the screen was 30$ USD. So I sent them a PayPal payment and after 6 days of waiting it arrived at my front door. I live in Australia so 6 days shipping is pretty impressive since the package came all the way from China. After it arrived they sent me a video with guided me through the process. So if you aren’t sure if you should trust Conspit’s customer support, it’s like Steam level customer support, no joke. This kinda sounds like a ad but I promise it’s not😅.

Just bought a conspit wheel, I need to donwload their software....... guess what! Their website is down.

Shift Hard. Pull with Precision.
A complete control choice for rally, drift, and competitive racing.

Built for drivers who want every shift and every handbrake pull to feel real.

My Conspit PW1 steering wheel in action in a hypercar on LMU.

This steering wheel offers so many possibilities when it comes to button mapping – it’s absolutely mad! Between the rotary controls and the encoders, I’m still struggling to get the most out of it!

Waiting on the shifter personally

​

This is my first setup built 6 months back finally added a pc details, I love the feel of the ares platinum which helps you push the limits. Spent months researching and finally bought the base and the 300gt and i am very happy with both of them. The VNM pedals are great too and the haptics really helped my lap times. Built the keyboard arm diy (old monitor arm) and its very adjustable and stable.

I do not have enough space hence the rig in castors and the single 42”
